Ryan created stir when he announced that LB Ikemefuna Enemkpali would be one of game captains. The Bills have wins this season over the Colts, the Dolphins twice, and the Tennessee Titans. A win against Buffalo would not only improve that, but could really punt a dent into the Bills hopes. The 5-3 Jets and 4-4 Bills most likely won’t catch the Patriots for the division title, but both figure to be in the AFC wild-card mix. For instance, when the Bills played Miami Sunday, the captains were former Dolphins Richie Incognito, Dan Carpenter, and Charles Clay, former University of Miami standout Seantrel Henderson, and Leodis McKelvin because that was his first game back after a long ordeal with his ankle.

For those looking to put their hard-earned money on the Bills, there’s mostly good news.
Second year wide receiver Sammy Watkins is going to have a tough assignment this week. On defense, Buffalo will look to dismantle the passing game. Not a former player, but he took a swipe at Ryan Fitzpatrick’s beard.
The Buffalo Bills are 4-4 on the season and they find themselves a 2.5 point underdog this week to beat the NY Jets on the road in New Jersey.
If the Bills can move the ball effectively on the ground, it will open up ample opportunities for TE Charles Clay to shred a sub-par Jets linebacker corps.
There would be no better time than this Thursday night for the Jets’ offense to show all that it can be.
Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick could have surgery on his non-throwing hand immediately after this game while the secondary has been decimated with safeties Pryor and Dion Bailey plus cornerback Antonio Cromartie all limited at best in practice and serious doubts to start the game.
It was a lopsided contest as the Bills controlled the game throughout to win 33-17.
In the seven games in which Fitz has appeared against Rex Ryan defenses in his career the Jets QB has a completion percentage of just under 50 percent (49.8%) with 12 touchdowns and seven INTs. This is what you signed on for when you hired this backyard-kid’s-party clown to run your football team.
I’m going to go with the Jets here, 27-20. The Bills have to prove they can back up their hype, and the Jets are the ultimate test. “I’m not sure”, Ryan said when asked what his emotions will be when he walks into the building that was his home field for six seasons while coaching the Jets.
A starter when healthy in his first two seasons with the Jets, Milliner probably won’t start in his return. ‘Everyone knows me, I circle the Patriots, that’s what I do, ‘ Ryan quipped in the face of questions about his return.
I know there’s an element out there that loves it. That thinks this helps his team and gives them a few sort of competitive edge or whatever.

Is Rex gunning for revenge against his old club?
Um … okay. Apparently, though, despite it being more of a misconception than, say, you needing to wait 30 minutes after you eat before you swim (it’s a myth, people!), Smith had no urgency in wanting to clear this mystery up. It symbolizes what Rex wants to do and that’s punch the Jets in their collective mouths.

Tight End: The Jets don’t have any viable tight end options in fantasy. Ryan won’t be happy to see them again.
